Abstract:
Apparatus for contacting a liquid reaction solution with a gas in separate reaction chambers within a single reaction vessel wherein the liquid reaction solution is continuously circulated between a first reaction chamber and a second reaction chamber within the reaction vessel but providing at least two side-by-side reaction chambers in open flow communication at their upper and lower ends with a gas supply means associated with each said chamber for introducing a gas in a finely divided form into the lower ends of each said chamber, and said gas supply means including flow control means whereby the rate of upward flow of gas in one of the chambers is greater than the rate of upward flow of gas in the other chamber so as to lower the density of the liquid reaction solution in the one chamber and provide continuous upward flow of liquid reaction solution and gas in the one chamber and downward flow of liquid reaction solution countercurrent to the flow of gas in the other chamber. The process and apparatus are particularly adapted for continuously carrying out two distinct chemical reactions between a liquid reaction solution and two different gases in a single reaction vessel, such as a catalytic oxidation-reduction process for removing hydrogen sulfide gas from a process gas stream.
Abstract:
Spheroidal polymer beads having a uniform size are prepared by polymerizing uniformly sized monomer droplets formed by the vibratory excitation of a laminar jet of monomeric material flowing in a continuous liquid medium containing a suitable suspending agent. For example, a laminar jet of a monomer mixture comprising a monovinylidene aromatic such as styrene, a polyvinylidene aromatic such as divinylbenzene and a polymerization initiator can be subjected to vibratory excitation and the resulting monomer droplets polymerized to yield copolymer beads having a narrow particle size range distribution. The resulting copolymer beads can be employed to prepare high yields of ion exchange resins exhibiting superior properties, particularly in continuous ion exchange operations.
Abstract:
Methods for producing improved, thermally-stable polyethylene terephthalate resins are provided. Polyethylene terephthalate resins are provided that can be fabricated into products such as carbonated beverage containers with a minimum of degradation products such as acetaldehyde preferably by rapidly polymerizing a prepolymer from an i.v. of about 0.2 to an i.v. of at least about 0.7.
Abstract:
Apparatus for conducting a continuous, pressurized liquid-state reaction while maintaining internal recycle. The apparatus has a perforated barrier plate which separates a reaction zone from a reboiler zone and has a by-pass conduit which connects these two zones. Control devices maintain the liquid levels in the reaction and reboiler zones. A heater in the reboiler zone evolves vapors in that zone, which vapors return to the reaction zone through the perforated barrier plate.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for forming a transport mechanism for transporting at least one of a gas or a liquid. The method may comprise using a 3D printing operation to form the mechanism with an inlet and an outlet, and controlling the 3D printing operation to create the mechanism as an engineered surface structure formed in a layer-by-layer process. The method may further comprise controlling the 3D printing operation such that the engineered surface structure includes a plurality of cells propagating periodically in three dimensions, with non-intersecting, non-flat, continuously curving wall portions which form two non-intersecting domains, and where the wall portions have openings forming a plurality of flow paths extending in three orthogonal dimensions throughout from the inlet to the outlet, and such that the engineered cellular structure has wall portions having a mean curvature other than zero.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a transport mechanism apparatus for transporting at least one of a gas or a fluid. The transport mechanism may have an inlet, an outlet and an engineered cellular structure forming a periodic nodal surface, which may include a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure. The structure is formed in a layer-by-layer three dimensional (3D) printing operation to include cells propagating in three dimensions, where the cells include non-intersecting, continuously curving wall portions having openings, and where the opening in the cells form a plurality of flow paths throughout the transport mechanism from the inlet to the outlet, and where portions of the cells form the inlet and the outlet.
